Dora Said:

is it good to do a covering letter in response to work adverts hand written?

We Answered:

I would advise a handwritten covering letter, only when requested.

Initial applicant selection is normally carried out by a junior staff member, to strict and sometimes strange criteria (viz. straight stamps on letter.)

Remember the average time a recruiter has, to make preliminary decisions is 30 seconds. If you do not make your skills and relevant qualifications readable in that time, then your application is likely to find its way to file 13!

A handwritten cover letter might be attractive but it will impede the selector's search for his/her employment criteria.

Benjamin Said:

What can I write on my covering letter?

We Answered:

You name, address and contact details.

The job you are applying for.

Why you are applying for the job - except for money. (Can be tough for a supermarket - say you want to work in a team.)

When you are available to start, and the hours you can work.

Everything else should be on your CV.

Billy Said:

When writing a covering letter for a job, how are you supposed to address it?

We Answered:

Start your letter Dear Mr Jones. Finish it Yours sincerely, sign your name underneath.

Also, put your address at the top on the right hand side, with the date underneath.

Good luck with your application.
